The last training material from IIT Kharagpur, a course material about Water Resources engineering. This course material is addressed to a civil engineering student I suppose, but also so much applies to other disciplines, such as mechanical engineering and geological engineering.
Gives historical, artistic descriptions plus original photographs of more than 90 major structures, sites and symbols—from Indian coves and trails and Dutch canals to contemporary skyscrapers. Contains a comprehensive analysis of the major architectural styles that have helped create the New York City skyline.
This book is the perfect example of the harmony that can stem from the combination of old architecture and new ideas. The pictures in this book are wonderfully informative and artfully done. Weather you're looking for new ideas in architecture or just out to see some cool pictures, you should at the very least just flip through this book.
This visual dictionary uses a combination of textual definitions and superb line drawings to illuminate essential terms in architectural elements, from the traditional houses to the huge office buildings.
